Rocky Road Snack Cake

A cross between a snacking cake and a brownie, this chocolaty dessert is best cut and served warm. Use a sharp knife coated with cooking spray to keep the cake from sticking. Chock-full of nuts and marshmallows, it also contains a triple hit of soy--soy milk, soy flour, and tofu--so you can feel even better about eating it.

Annelisa's Review

This was really good! Definitely a brownie, though. Next time I would omit the marshmellows, as they melted and made a kind of crisp crust. Changes that I made: Omitted the soy flour, increased soy milk to 3/4 c., increased tofu to 1 1/4 c., added 1 tsp vanilla extract, omitted walnuts, subbed 2 T applesauce for 2 T butter, decreased sugar to 3/4 c.
These were very moist, and will definitely become my new favorite healthy brownie recipe.
